Bye, My Irresistible Love

Caroline’s POV: 

After breakfast, Charles drove me back to the company.

Along the way, I didn’t even glance at him and just focus on the scenery outside the window. Suddenly, my phone rang, breaking the silence in the car.

I glanced at the screen and saw that Diego was calling. I rejected the call, but he soon called again. Charles pressed his lips and slowly pulled over. I looked at him, visibly confused. 

“Why’d you stop the car?” He took my ringing phone away from my hand and pressed the answer key. His face was sullen and tense. He looked like he wanted to fight someone. 

“If you don’t want to be fired, never call her again!” His voice was frightening and was enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.

Thereafter, he ended the phone call. I looked at him with a blank stare. I couldn’t understand why he was being so hostile against Diego. 

“Charles, why did you threaten him?” 

“What do you mean? Why would I need to intimidate him?” Charles cast me a cold glance and spoke in a disdainful tone.

His firm attitude dampened my courage to go against him, and I felt uncomfortable.

For as long as I’d come back as Caroline, he had always been kind to me. But lately, he was getting more and more irritable. These days, his temper was volatile. After we arrived at the company, he pulled over the car. He held the steering wheel with both hands, sullen and silent.

I unfastened my seatbelt, ready to get off the car. But then, he stopped me. 

“Caroline.” 

“What?” I asked, annoyed by his cold attitude towards me. Because of how sad I was of how he treated me, I was distancing myself from him as well.

“Do you like him?” he answered, looking into my eyes.

I was stunned for a moment. I stared back at him as anger surged in my heart.
